Well, what can I say? It’s a dream come true to find one let alone two in XS.
This is one of 3 Adroits owned in the last year or so but only two remain as the 3rd was too big for me to ride.
This is the exact antithesis of the Caroline Alexander Klein I restored recently.
There isn’t much to say other that congratulations to @viengsavanh for expertly putting it together and for being a great sport in letting me get my grubby mitts on it.
Everything other than the brake pad blocks, tyre valve dust covers and saddle are installed by his design. I haven’t had to do much.
All credit goes to him for keeping it so nice for over a decade.
There is some custom anodising in this though. The post and cranks have been anodised green and they really look the part. This was done a long time ago and predates both previous owner and me. I’m glad it was done.
When all is said and done it’s a beauty. I fully appreciate that it’s not everyone’s cup of rosy lee. Love it or loathe it but you cannot ignore the Gary Klein way.
I hope you all enjoy some pics that I am about to share.
Cheers
